Club PA 2.0 has arrived! If you'd like to access some extra PA content and help support the forums, check it out at patreon.com/ClubPA

The image size limit has been raised to 1mb! Anything larger than that should be linked to. This is a HARD limit, please do not abuse it.

Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Flying out of CVG today, on American. Thusfar everything has been remarkably hassle free. Systems are running efficiently, my checked bag was no upcharge, and my backpack counts as a personal item and not a billable carry-on.

It seems trivial to me that we exist only as molecules in motion, rather than static arrangements, and that as molecules are replaceable by identical ones, all essential things cannot be due to the identity of individual particles. Thus, the person that exists from t1 to t2 is fundamentally different from the person who exists from t2 to t3, and that relationship would be the same whether nothing happened at t2 or the person were suddenly switched three feet to the right, but otherwise identical.

Therefore get over it and teleport everywhere

This makes a lot of assumptions about identity re: particles

Also particles are never identical as one of their properties is always necessarily different, i.e. their locations in space!

Assumptions which are true, and can be shown by destructive and constructive interference, iirc?

I recall reading a blog post by an angry quantum guy who wanted to yell at philosophers over this very thing

But in any case there is no such thing as absolute position, so all that matters is relative position...

Outlook (the program) is killing me. Every so often it decides that there is 1 unread message even though I clicked everything. Then I need to search the server and it will have marked one of my read emails as unread.

Can't live with that notification number staying active.

It's the hassle-most hassle shit I want a different email program. How am I supposed to work under these CONDITIONS?????????????

This reminds me that if you take a random C40+ molecule (maybe c50?) there is almost no chance that its particular arrangement has ever occurred before.

You can't write me off like that! You're just a voice, pal! You don't know a DAMN THING ABOUT RACING!!

I'm thinking way too much about the logistics of that silicon valley scene but I'll summarize it as "Even if you managed to pair up dicks of similar length/girth to achieve as close to a seamless stroke between the two as possible, it's probably a lackluster experience."

I found switching from All to Unread and back to All usually clears it.

the real issue is that we don't understand consciousness or even qualitative experience enough to make assumptions about duplicating or destroying brains. i wouldn't step into that thing.

oh so it's about you now

I'm a published writer and have a very unique and interesting writing style. I'm also sharp and witty. My profile is well-written and hilarious. My messages are likewise brilliant. And I've been doing this stuff for...four or five years. I know what "works" in terms of good internet dating writing. "Works" in the sense of leading to a "date" with a human female.
